Am I a Candidate for Root Canal Therapy?
If you have an infected or damaged tooth caused by deep decay, trauma, gum disease, or other factors, you may be a candidate for root canal therapy at Inspire Smiles. We will assess the extent of damage during an examination and explain if this procedure is correct for you.
Reasons to Get Root Canal Therapy
A severely decayed tooth can cause severe bone loss and further complications like infection without treatment. Endodontic treatment can help protect surrounding teeth from being affected, too, and ultimately save your smile! The benefits of getting a root canal include the following:
- No more pain associated with the affected tooth.
- Time-saving repairs.
- Increased confidence with improved aesthetics.
- Long-lasting results when combined with proper follow-up care such as regular checkups & teeth cleanings at our office.
- Prevention of infection spreading throughout your body systemically (bloodstream).
Expert Endodontic Care at Inspire Smiles
At Inspire Smiles, our team consists of highly skilled endodontists who specialize in diagnosing & treating dental conditions related to nerves/roots within teeth structure– including performing complex surgical procedures known as apicoectomies (root tip resection). They use cutting-edge technology & techniques to ensure each patient receives personalized attention while undergoing treatment at Inspire Smiles! In the United States, over 70% of root canal therapies are carried out by general dentists.
Is Root Canal Therapy Safe?
Yes - though some people may experience mild discomfort after the procedure due to inflammation caused by bacteria entering their bodies through their mouths – this typically subsides quickly using over-the-counter medication. So, generally speaking, there should not be any major issues associated with having had one done– it's considered safer than filling cavities involving manipulating metal instruments inside living tissue!
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
There are many advantages to opting for endodontic treatments instead of extracting/replacing teeth-- extended life span of the natural tooth, allowing you to maintain your smile and function with little change to your overall dental health. You will also save time & money by avoiding lengthy & costly procedures such as bridges or implants. Plus, root canals are now more comfortable than ever! In addition, with advancements in technology like lasers, the process is fast and virtually pain-free. The success rate of root canal therapy is over 86.02%.
How an Endodontist Can Help You
Root canal therapy is often necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes infected or inflamed. This can be caused by decay, trauma, or other factors. The infected pulp is removed during root canal therapy, and the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This helps to prevent further damage and infection. If you need endodontic treatment, you'll be glad to know that Inspire Smiles offers excellent care. Our endodontists are highly skilled and experienced in root canal therapy. They will thoroughly evaluate your situation and develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure your root canal is successful.
